Steve Kemp recently blogged about wanting a blog compiler that would convert a dir full of text files into a collection of RSS feeds, HTML pages, and any other format under the sun. I use Pyblosxom, which does something similar. Its a clone of a perl based system, bosxom. I don't know if either of these support the full feature set that Steve is looking for, but I do know I haven't plumbed the full depths of what is possible. For example, for the debconf blog, Ganneff had a system where people committed posts as text to svn, which had a commit hook to generate the actual html, rss and atom. That had key-value based metadata, which may have included tagging support.
